Falcon Heights wildfire risk explained
Falcon Heights's 224 buildings earn a 73rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Falcon Heights at the 76th percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
Where Falcon Heights's buildings actually sit
73.7% of Falcon Heights's 224 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 26.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
